Isolating Flavors and Fragrances from Plants with the CentrifanTM PE

Robust tool to process natural product extracts

Collect solubilized flavor and fragrance extracts

High recovery without thermal degradation of delicate compounds

Low-loss, evaporation, condensation and collection tool for many lab samples

The novel CentrifanTM PE Evaporator / Condenser can now extract naturalproducts from herbs, fruits, vegetables, and flowers. In addition to being a highrecovery tool for drying and concentrating lab samples, it is now being used forcollecting the solubilized flavor and fragrance plant extracts.

Traditional vacuum, solvent, or heat based preparation of plant extracts cansuffer from poor efficiency or degradation of the extract. Using the vacuum-free, self-generating blow-down technology of the CentrifanTM PE provides ahigh level of recovery and no thermal degradation.

We recently prepared a habanero pepper extract by mincing a whole pepper,placing it in the CentrifanTM PE vials, and running the CentrifanTM for 2 hours. Theresult was 7 ml of a clear liquid that tasted and smelled like the pepper but had nohint of the fiery hot capsaicin. The CentrifanTM PE was run at 35oC.

An established protocol for obtaining rose absolute requires hexane and ethanolextraction steps. The CentrifanTM PE speeded and streamlined the process by firstserving as a hexane evaporation tool after the petal extraction, and then as afragrance concentrator after the concrete was solubilized in ethanol.
